Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
To work around this and proceed, please first make sure there is no
stuck useradd process:
ps -ef | grep useradd
ps -ef | grep groupadd
If either of those show results, then please kill the process (reply
here if you need help with that).
Then please remove any stale lock files by doing:
rm -f /etc/passwd.lock /etc/group.lock /etc/gshadow.lock
and then re-try your install or upgrade.
